Capabuild is now "TrueRestore", the rebrand we called

Capabuild, the LiDAR/360 documentation app for restoration and mitigation contractors that TrueBuilt acquired, has rebranded its restoration product to TrueRestore, wiring jobsite capture directly into TrueBuilt's AI estimation engine. The 05-30 digest flagged this acquisition and predicted a possible rebrand; it's now live.
Why it matters
A credible, AI-native challenger is going straight at the documentation-to-estimate workflow that DASH, Encircle, and Xactimate own. More competition on scoping speed and estimate defensibility is good for operators, but it's another tool decision to evaluate.
Our assessment
New tooling in restoration software is worth a look, and the pitch is always speed. Speed is not the moat. The moat is whose output a carrier accepts without a fight, and until a challenger's estimate survives that review it is a field capture tool, not your system of record. Pilot it on three jobs, then compare the approved scope against what you would have written yourself.
